Selangor State Park

Selangor and the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya depend on the Park for their most basic needs of clean air, water and maintenance of the local climatic stability.

The Park area also feeds the five water-supply reservoirs that provide 98% of the water supply to Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.

The forests absorb moisture through plant roots and sponge up large quantities of rainfall in their organically enriched soil system.

Thus, the Park serves in water catchment and also as a natural buffer against flooding that is typically most felt in settlements and population centres farther downstream.

The thick forest, together with the leaf litter and other organic debris, help reduce the direct impact of rain on the soil.

It is located just outside the north-eastern part of Kuala Lumpur, stretching from Taman Seri Gombak to Kampung Kemensah.
